If You Could Skate on the street, walk or any place where there is a little snow, and not be obliged to go a long distance to hunt up an ice-covered pond or stream. You Would Enjoy It Wouldn't you now? You would skate oftener; very much oftener in fact. The reason you don't do it now is because your common skates are not adapted for use on snow, and their lack of suitability destroys the pleasure that would be derived from properly designed skates. YouCanDoIt and a lot more, by using Wide Runner Skates. They enable you to skate on snowy street or walk as well as you can skate on ice with ordinary skates. Besides, they are perfect for coasting and this exhilarating sport is the most alluring one ever offered American young people.
